The album was released on Splice Records and was recorded at Sugar Hill Studios in Houston. Produced by Kelly Doyle (of Robert Ellis' band) and engineered by the legendary Steve Christensen, this project features Tank Lisenbe on drums, Geoffrey Muller on bass and Will Van Horn on pedal steel.

"This is a Houston, Texas record through and through," says Arthur Yoria. "When Shaun Brennan first approached me about doing a record with Splice, I was thrilled and honored, but to be honest, I had plans to resume rambling and explore another city as I've often done. Over the course of the past couple of years while making this record, I really came to rediscover what this town has to offer in terms of musicianship, community and diversity. I am now as excited as I was when I first started my career several years ago in this unique city before I became a nomad and I hope that the record reflects this."

"Arthur was the musician that first planted the SEED of what would later become Splice Records," says Splice Records CEO Shaun Brennan. "When I moved back to Houston he was the first local musician that I saw, and I obsessively followed his music and his career, even after he left the city to roam the countryside. To later come full circle and have the opportunity to work with him, have him on the label and be involved in creating another album with him, is truly a testament to the strengths of his talents. The music touched me and it turned me from music fan to investor. That story has made me put my whole heart into this project. The new album will display the collaborated effort that Splice created in hopes of delivering a new and more refined Arthur Yoria."
